Purchase options and add-ons

Shocked with an extensive list of fetal anomalies and life-threatening diagnoses for her sweet potato-sized unborn child, Emily K Whiting’s world, seemingly so secure and certain moments before the fateful ultrasound, flips upside down and inside out. She has a choice: to embrace the gift that is her daughter, loosen her grip on her illusion of control and face an unimaginable series of surgeries and setbacks, or to let fear and mistrust consume her. If she cannot hold onto hope that her daughter might survive, and possibly even thrive, then who can?

This gut-wrenching true story of a mother’s heartache and healing captures the essence of hope and is a window into the realities parents face when raising children with medical complexities. Emily shares her walk with fear and faith with startling vulnerability and transparency and provides practical tips for anyone learning to hold onto hope in the midst of heartache. This is a story of grit, grace and, most of all, love.

Emily K. Whiting
Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

If the saying is true, that you are what you eat, then Emily is mostly comprised of coffee and cookies. If it were up to Emily, she’d have 20 children. Okay, maybe not 20, but a lot. And if her book, She is Charlotte, and work helps people navigate the hardships of life and provides some hope for them at their time of need, then she will be greatly satisfied.

Emily K. Whiting is the co-founder of Charlotte’s Hope Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization that supports, encourages and educates parents and caregivers of children with medical complexities, embracing each family’s reality with an outlook of hope and empowering them as capable advocates for their child’s optimal quality of life. Emily also speaks and writes about God’s design for relationships and true intimacy, an intimacy meant to be so deep and fulfilling it leaves the world's idea of romance lacking.

She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture communications and minors in animal science and psychology. A farm

girl at heart, she used this professional training to build a career in beef brand marketing and loved it. But as life continues to evolve and circumstances change, this unlikely background proves perfect for preparing Emily for her career today, which is first and foremost, raising her sweet babies, secondly, coordinating care and advocating for her eldest child’s medical needs, and third as Executive Hope Director for Charlotte’s Hope Foundation.

Emily lives in Ohio with her husband, Dan, her three children and possibly the largest most loving extended family in the world. To get to know Emily and her work more, visit CharlottesHopeFoundation.org and EmilyKWhiting.com

    Emily pours out her soul in this in a complete and honest portrayal of her and her family’s struggles with mothering and caring for a child with medical complexities. Her writing is gut wrenching and so real, that you come to more closely understanding what a mother goes through, all the ups and downs of caring and navigating the medical web for such a child, while testing her trust in God through it all. What an amazing journey and a truly amazing ability to write so vividly and well, that you feel as if you are there with her every step of the way. One can not put this book down for the writing is truly amazing and awe inspiring.

    This book was so full of hope and inspiration. Even though I don't have a child with medical complexities, this book made me re-evaluate my faith, relationship with God, my marriage and helped me put things in perspective. I'm so in awe of Emily and Dan and the strength their daughter Charlotte possess. I was so drawn into the story and couldn't put it down. Would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone - no matter where they are in life. A truly incredible story and highly touching.

    In a secular world that often seems devoid of any faith, this book is an inspiration. It is so refreshing to read of how meeting the challenge to trust in God who walks with us on the journey of trial and triumph can change lives in unexpected ways. Emily boldly and unashamedly shares her faith journey and how the precious gift of Charlotte has multiplied His love. We need only listen and respond to His call…”Here I am Lord..”

    This book was SO GOOD! Emily does an excellent job of bringing you on her family’s journey of working through her daughters medical complexities and how leaning on God can bring you through whatever you face in life. Even if you do not find yourself in a similar situation, there are so many points of this book that are applicable to everyone’s life. Great read!

    This is so beautifully written, eliciting so many emotions…tears, love, fear and most importantly praises for our most high Lord. Whether you have a medically complex child or not, this book will inspire you to work on your relationship with God and see that our prayers are heard and answered as God intended. If you do have a medically complex child, this story will help to give you support and courage through your journey.
